BC BUSINESS 30 UNDER 30: KATIE FORSYTH AND CLAIRE MCLOUGHLIN

Founded in Kamloops, BC, Friendly Composting is a weekly organic waste pick up and bin cleaning service for local residents and businesses. They provide simple and accessible composting solutions by supplying clean bins each week and ensuring all collected compostables are properly processed into nutrient-rich soil. The Friendly Composting Community has diverted nearly 1 million pounds of food waste from the landfill since March 2020, which has avoided greenhouse gas emissions and created nutrient rich soil.

Life Story: Becoming roommates in Kamloops soon after meeting through recreational volleyball, Katie Forsyth and Claire McLoughlin realized that their adoptive city lacked a program for diverting food scraps and other organic waste from the landfill. So Ladner-raised Forsyth and Campbell River native McLoughlin decided to start one out of their apartment, each putting down $500 to buy their first recycled compost bins.
